Its an important distinction to note whether or not air is getting through (our pediatrician told us the very same thing). I've corrected my previous comment, as nothing you said was incorrect. Please accept my apology for the mistake. | |
| Aug 4, 2011 at 4:31 | comment | added | Caterpillar's Leaf | For actual choking (when no air can get through, the baby is turning blue, and the baby is making no sounds at all), that is correct. When the baby is coughing, meaning that some air is getting through (this is not actual choking), hitting them on the back will cause choking. If you notice, when they are hitting the baby on the back when it is choking, they turn the baby upside down so the food won't fall farther down. | |

| Aug 3, 2011 at 21:48 | comment | added | Caterpillar's Leaf | Just wanted to mention that hitting anybody on the back while they are coughing up food actually increases their chance of choking. This is because it loosens the food and then gravity pulls it down farther (as I learned in a CPR and First Aid class). It is recommended to stand by closely, but not touch the person and let them cough it up themselves (the body does a pretty good job itself). For the baby, once the food is back in their mouth then you can take it out. | |
